My fellow VA agent and good  friend Wes just wrote a great article about one of my fellow Vietnam Veterans who deserves the medal. This is a great article and hopefully will induce the Vet’s congressman to get off his poor bonus-calloused deriere and get to work on a worthwhile project- making sure he gets a well-earned Medal of Honor.  

Very few of us are left who served in Viet Nam. Last count was “about” 650,000. I’m not buying it. I’m losing my Viet Nam clients at an alarming rate.  Everyone considers us 70-ish folks as the core of the combatants. What most fail to grasp is that many who had enlisted, were commissioned or were serving prior to the onset of the Vietnam “Conflict” as it was then known, also were sent to RVN as well. A good example was my own father who arrived in June ’66 at age 48 and returned in May ’68- just two years before I left for the war.

This is a great read and an excellent attempt to bring honor to a loyal Veteran who more than deserves it. Enjoy.
